Oregon and Washington BS thread

I'm not from Washington but I am stationed here and have a 30" led light bar in my lower grille, is it legal to use them in the time of darkness or no? Thanks. I have seen that the pods are just wondering if the bar is. Thanks.

That thing is sweet! My buddy has a 60 series with a cummins diesel swapped in. They are some damn tough rigs.

The Ih8mud classifieds are full of good deals as well. http://forum.ih8mud.com/forums/fj60-fj62-bj60-hj61.330/

This 80 is pretty wild- http://boise.craigslist.org/cto/5061428407.html

 

Off road yes, on road no

 

I use mine on lonely stretches of highway all the time, but I am very cautious and flip them off anytime I see a vehicle approaching. Even if they are six miles away on a long straight stretch. They are like staring at a plasma cutter man, you don't want to fry someone's retinas.

 

He just asked if its legal or not lol I'd use it if I didn't see any cars either but keep my thumb on the button to turn it off real quick once I saw one.

 

This is going to be one hell of a summer with all of these damn forrest fires....

 

Yeah. Oregon is torching up pretty good right now. The rest of the week will have scattered thunderstorms, so we'll have some new starts for sure. I was in Yakima today and was surprised at how smoky it was.

Yea I only use it right now on the back roads to work and yes when I see other vehicles I do turn it off. I'm not an ahole lol. But I have seen trucks here on I5 when it's foggy have them on all the time. I was just curious if that was legal or not. But I am curious to other drivers. Is this the same as if you have Amber covers over the light bar?

 

I know where there is a 1990 4runner. 22re, 5spd, 4x4. 2 owner. I think she wants 1600 for it. Motor has extremely high miles and is soon going to need swapped out.

 

Technically has to be DOT approved. I'm not aware of any "offroad" light bars that are dot approved other than the DOT rigid industries dually. http://www.rigidindustries.com/led-lighting/50481 Wa state may have other regs on top of that, but you have to google the vehicle code regulations to figure that out.

 

By the way most of the roads here suck with their line markings, specially when it is raining. Sometime I can't tell if I'm in my lane or not. Canyon rd is one of the worst! Lol

 

Thanks, that's what I was looking for. I have an Avec light bar and have seen rigid light bars and they look no different IMO.

 

I hear you. We get fog so thick out here visibility drops to 10' with stock headlights.

 

I'd only use them without other cars coming

 

That is one of the main reasons I put it on was the second or third time driving to work in that shit. And plus when it snows or what little snow yall get in PNW I have to respond to base as a night shift snow removal for the airfield and the streets so if it wasn't for that I wouldn't even have put one on. Wasn't going for looks that's why I put it behind my lower valence but now that I have it there I really like it. I have seen some taco setups up here with the BAMF led bracket and stuff I think that's what that backet is called and it does look pretty sick! Appreciate the help fellas!!

 

This^^^

I saw some asshole driving thru town the other day in a HoRunner with his light bar on. Flashed my lights and showed him the middle finger.

 

Scary how the whole state is a tinder box ready to light up. Already started the 4th with an earthquake shaking my house...don't need fire to go along with it!
